Week 8- The Confirmation




1. What is my thesis?

    
People who are better in physical beauty have more advantages.

2. What types of source am I using to defend my thesis?





I am using expert essays and the interviews and many visual materials. 
3. Are my arguments mostly based on evidence, logic or emotion?

My arguments have many images that I cannot post on my essay, so I think that is problem with my confirmation. I think I should find more logic reasons which don't needs pictures. I need not only the polls from various people but also clear statistics ot studies to support my opinion efficiently.

My Confirmation

Firstly, the people who are more beautiful or handsome are advantageous in a first impression which is really important for social relationships.
 
The recent study, Heide, D'Angelo, &Schumaker, 2012, when people introduce themselves with their visual image which seems negative or introvert in facebook
 
psychological effect which is the hallo effect. _Research1

Secondly, people judge everything with the physical beauty following the social cultures.  Even though you might not notice this consciously, still subconscious mind will notice the similarity and will judge the person by only appearance. Also the media makes this pattern, too. This is the biggest reason why do lots of people judge others by their outer appearance and physical beauty brings a lot of advantages._Reseach 2/4
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
Lastly, better physical beauty gives shows better characteristics. More and more people started to get a lot of plastic surgeries to become beautiful. It doesn't show only the fact that many people spend their money on plastic surgery but also a lot of people want to become more beautiful than before. Their most reasons were they had been discriminated by their appearance and wanted to take advantages similar to those who are beautiful. _Research 3/5

                         First impression (psychology of happy communication, 2012)

 My Topic:

People who are better in physical beauty have more advantageous.


 What I hope to learn from this source:

I want to know why the first impression of people who are better in physical beauty is better than the others.

Notes:

1. 사람이 한 가지 좋은 특성을 지니고 있을 때 다른 좋은 특성들도 모두 함께 가지고 있을 것이라고 생각하는 것을 말하는데, 여기서 '한 가지 좋은 특성''잘 생긴 얼굴'일 경우가 많다. 잘 생긴 사람은 성격, 매너, 직업, 집안도 모두 좋을 것이라고 생각하는 경향이다.

The people who are more beautiful or handsome are advantageous in a hallo effect which is important for first impression. The hallo effect means that if a person has one good trait, other people might regard that person as he or she has also other good traits. From the psychology of happiness communication, that 'one good trait' often points to the beauty. Finally, people have stereotypical thinking that the people who are beautiful or handsome are also good at manner, jobs or personality.

 
2. 페이스북에서 본인을 시각적 이미지와 글로 함께 소개할 때, 시각적 이미지가 외향적 또는 긍정적으로 보이면 글로 소개하는 내용이 인상 형성에 큰 영향을 주지 않는 데 비해, 시각적 이미지가 내향적 또는 부정적으로 보이면 글로 소개하는 내용이 인상 형성에 큰 영향을 준다는 결과를 얻었다. 일단 '시각적' 이미지가 첫 단계에서 영향력이 매우 강하며, 그것만으로 충분히 긍정적인 인상이 형성되지 않을 때 텍스트 형태의 정보에도 관심을 더 기울이는 것을 알 수 있다

The recent study, Heide, D'Angelo, &Schumaker, 2012, if people introduce themselves
with their visual image which seems negative or introvert in facebook, it influences the contents of facebookr or comments from his or her acquaintances. Like this the first visual image of people's faces is really important which can also affect other things.


 
Final Thoughts:
 
This source is interesting to capture the readers' attentions.
It was a really good information that I could find the real effect that is relevant to what I want to know from this source.

P.S>

People who effort to be more beautiful or handsome such as a plastic surgery improve their confidence.
 
 How about using it  for introduction?

Week 7- The Narration




My persuasive argument thesis is

People who are better in physical beauty have more advantages. (Although there are many things that can surpass the physical beauty, I think it is the most powerful that can gain many advantages.)


1. What do people already know about my topic?
 
Everyone knows the boys always like the girs who is more beautiful and vice versa. Based on this fact, people who are reatively not better in physical beauty often feel humiliated and want to become more beautiful or handsome. They have an inkling that the people who are better in physical beauty get more advantages than themselves.

2What research has already been done about my topic?

While researching:)

3. What are the implications of my argument (What if I'm right? What if I'm right and people ignore me?)

If it would be right, everyone will have a plastic surgery. Also all the misunderstandings that people regard it as a inequality would be dissapperer and they could have the right perspective toward the peopel who are better in physical beauty.
My Narration
 
People who are relatively not better in physical beauty often feel humiliated and want to become more beautiful or handsome. They have an inkling that the people who are better in physical beauty get more advantages than themselves. If it would be really right, everyone would like to have a plastic surgery. Also all the misunderstandings that people regard it as a inequality would be disappear. Like this, it is really important problem that can bring the huge aftereffects. Then many would wonder why the physical beauty is so important for having a more advantageous lives than others.

Week 6 Objectives - The Introduction

 

Let’s suppose that the two women ,one is pretty and the other is ugly, are running to the beach in front of you. How do you feel? Who are you looking at now? It would be the same answer when we even suppose there are two men. As you automatically see one who is better in physical beauty, people naturally tend to like more beautiful or handsome people. Then did you know that they also get more advantages? If you say no, I think it is just a belief that you don't want to admit it. For a long time ago, it was certain that here are also many cases they gain a lot of benefits just because of their physical attractiveness.


1. Attention grabber -

 I attracted the audience by describing a funny situation make them choose their own choice. Then I pointed out their common psycholohy to make them curious about my essay.


2. Explains the topic -

 In the attention grabber I introduce the entire of my topic: common behaviors of human toward those who are better in physical beauty, the fact that they could get more advantages.


3. My thesis -

 It is clear, direct and an argument. I thought the argument "People who are more beautiful and handsome are more likely to have advantages." was too simple and a little not clear. I changed it to a better argument, People who are better in physical beauty have more advantages.

Week4,5- First Draft

People who are better in physical beauty have more advantages.

  Let’s suppose that the two women, one is pretty and the other is ugly, are running to the beach in front of you. How do you feel? Who are you looking at now? It would be the same answer when we even suppose there are two men. As you automatically see one who is better in physical beauty, we naturally tend to like more beautiful or handsome people even though we don't have any exact reasons. Then did you know that they also get more advantages? There were a lot of people who say 'No' to this question because they had just a belief that they don't want to admit it. For a long time ago, it was certain that here are also many cases they gain a lot of benefits just because of their physical attractiveness.
 
  People who are relatively not better in physical beauty often feel humiliated and want to become more beautiful or handsome. They have an inkling that the people who are better in physical beauty get more advantages than themselves. If it would be really right, everyone would like to have a plastic surgery. Also all the misunderstandings that people regard it as a inequality would be disappear. Like this, it is really important problem that can bring the huge aftereffects. Then many would wonder why the physical beauty is so important for having a more advantageous lives than others.
 
  Firstly, the people who are more beautiful or handsome are advantageous in a first impression which is really important for social relationships. The recent study, Heide, D'Angelo, &Schumaker, 2012, when people introduce themselves with their visual image which seems negative or introvert in facebook, it influences the contents of facebook or comments from his or her acquaintances negatively. Like this the first visual image of people's faces which is a first impression is really important factor which can affect many other things. Besides, there is a psychological effect which is the hallo effect. It means that if a person has one good trait, other people might regard that person as he or she has also other good traits. From the psychology of happiness communication, that 'one good trait' often points to the beauty. Finally, people have stereotypical thinking that the people who are beautiful or handsome are also good at manner, jobs or personality. As the first impression is made through only few minutes, the physical beauty has to be important and advantageous.
 
    Secondly, people judge everything with the physical beauty following the social cultures. Beliefs are formed in the subconscious mind as a result of repetition. One popular psychological fact states that if you met a person who was really nice and interesting then most probably you will think that all of those who look like him to be interesting people. This is the reason why you might not feel comfortable as soon as you see someone who looks like people you don't think good. Even though you might not notice this consciously, still subconscious mind will notice the similarity and will judge the person by only appearance. Also the media makes this pattern, too. The tv shows, movies or animations often related with crime and they portrayed good looking people as heroes while on the other hand they gave the evil roles to people who are not that much handsome or beautiful. Consequently, the media always associated with certain qualities with certain facial features and body shapes that could make stereotypical image for all the people. This is the biggest reason why do lots of people judge others by their outer appearance and physical beauty brings a lot of advantages.
      
  Lastly, better physical beauty gives shows better characteristics. More and more people started to get a lot of plastic surgeries to become beautiful. It doesn't show only the fact that many people spend their money on plastic surgery but also a lot of people want to become more beautiful than before. Their most reasons were they had been discriminated by their appearance and wanted to take advantages similar to those who are beautiful. The examples of that advantages were really various such as when asking something, facial expression or talking. As many anticipated, they could feel the polite asking manner and see others who smile to them and hear praising words after having a plastic surgery. This can explain why people effort to be more beautiful or handsome is to improve their confidence. Also a study from Harvard University has shown that physical beauty makes potential ability whether it really exists. From this study, attractive people were rated more socially successful, more financially successful and happier than unattractive people by people who saw them for the first time. In Another study teachers were asked to rate students based on their pictures and some text reports that were almost identical to each student but that were rearranged to appear different. Teachers gave higher ratings to attractive students and believed that they are more intelligent while they thought of unattractive children as problem children. Other kind of study has shown that people tended to be more helpful when asked for help by an attractive or a well dressed person.
 
    If people are asked they should judge the people by the physical beauty, many will answer telling you that you should not judge a book based on its cover and while that's a wise answer coming from the conscious mind of the person. It is true to judge people based on their looks is not always bring good outcomes. However there is a really true thing that physical beauty is extremely important. Also all studies have shown that people judge each other based on their physical looks at least until they start to know each other well. The answer is simple, just a people were told few times not to judge a book by its cover they were told numerous times indirectly to judge others based on their outer appearance.
 
 Also some would argue about my opinion saying the inner beauty is also important and should not be overlooked. I also agree with this, however, following the polls of Korea psychological conferences, it was shown that only the 23 % believe that inner beauty is more important than physical beauty. There so many clear reasons that physical beauty brings a lot of advantages that I mention until now.
 
 Physical beauty is important but it is more important to understand the correct phenomenon related to physical beauty so that people do not harm their self-esteem unintentionally. For these reasons, People who are better in physical beauty have more advantages although there are many things that can surpass the physical beauty, I think it is the most powerful that can gain many advantages.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Week3- Classical Argument Outline




1. The introduction
I will start by describing the situation everyone is already familiar with: People naturally take their attentions to those who are more handsome and beautiful. Then I will shift attention to the advantages that that kinds of people could get. I will end with my thesis, "People who are more handsome and beautiul have more advantages."

2. The narration
I will summarize the research I've done and provide an explanation for how I will quantify or measure the advantages of people who are more beautiful and handsome. I'll give a brief interview of people when they think about beautiful and handsome people from the famous tv show 'Let 美人'.
 3. The confirmation
 
I will answer it while researching:)
 
4. The refutation and concession
 
I will concede that some people could believe that other factors such as an inner beauty is more effective in happy life but I think it has only poor reasons and doesn't matter much.
I will use the metaphor that many old people usually say "Names and natures do often agree".
 
5. The summation
 
I will close with a summary of my previous points, then a brief consideration of the unsatisfaction of the advantages that people who are better in physical beauty could get, and now they can acknowledge this information and could get fresh mindset. I will end with a reaffirmation of my original thesis.

Week3- Articulation




1) My argument

I want to argue that people who are more beautiful and handsome have more advantages. We otten deny that the physical beauty only lasts shortely. Also there are many people who claims that lookism should be suppressed without any reasons. I want to emphasize people just deny this kind of inferiority feeling and we should acknowledge my opinion.
 
2) How I found my argument

My first research question was, "Why all people like those who are more handsome and beautiful?" It seems normal that almost everyone agree but there would be few people who know the reason accurately. As the lookism starts to become prevale, people also have various opinions about this topic. This article helped me to find the information. As I continued researching, it seemed obvious the people who are more beautiful and handsome have more advantages. Then I started to consider opposite perspective such as "Is it the fact or belief?", "Is it really proven?" Articles like this one helped me quantify this question. Actually I also afraid my opinion because it can cause side after-effects but I could realize it is a fresh and interesting argument that brings a new perspective toward people.
 
3) New research questions

I have several questions that need to be resolved.

a) What factors could be the reason for my opinion?

b) Is there any scientifically proven reasons not only phychological one?

c) How could I refute counterarguments?

I'll continue browsing the internet and looking for interesting articles and keeping track of my research with blog posts.

4) Connections to the Harvard Sampler

It is obvious that my opinion is directly related to the human mind. As there was a survey which people prefer the most beautiful or handsome people in Harvard Sampler, my argument also dealt with the appearance and the minds following this topic. 
 

Week2- Research Proposal




What is my current topic?
 
My topic is "People who are more beautiful and handsome are more likely to have advantages". I was really curious about psychology of the boys and girls that why they mostly love who are handsome or beautiful. Therefore I started to remember all the memories that I have about this topic and also searched background information about it. Finallly I could conclude that the beauty is really important factor and it was proven that people who are better in physical attractiveness could live in more happy life.
 
What are my guiding questions?
 
The first question that I came up with was "Why most people like those who are more handsome and beautiful?".I was really curious about this problem. Then I started to think "Is it the fact or the belief?", "Is it really proven?". Finally, I could approach the final question that "Is it true that "People who are more beautiful and handsome have more advantages"?". I want to know about the exact advantages when people are better in physical attractiveness. The readers might wonder whether it is scientifically proven so I'm going to find information with experts and write resources accurately.
 
What are my current thoughts?
 
I have an inkling that people originally like the balanced face and first impression is focused on face and body. Therefore I want to persuade that physical attractiveness is the most important fact of living lives and actually it helps people to have more advantages.
 
What is the opposition?
 
Some might think that there are other many ways to get many advantages like the opinion that characteristics could be the most important factor that contributes to live advantageously. However I think these are only the minorities that the majority often feel it is not always true. I mean that I think my opinion is more strong than this. Also, I anticipate that counterargument would be  from the deficiency of scientific reasons.
